Amenities & Business

The Darley Abbey Historical Group was formed in 2004 and brings together people from all walks of life who enjoy a common interest in the topic and especially the long and unique history of our village and its surroundings.

New members are always welcome and we offer a varied programme of events throughout the year – with talks on a wide range of subjects and a number of visits to sites of historical interest. Additionally, the Group has been instrumental in promoting the village and the part it plays in what is now designated as the Derwent Valley World Heritage Site.
For further information on joining us and/or attending any of our up-coming events, please telephone the Chairman, Roy Hartle via our contact form or come along to any of our meetings, which are held in the Darley Abbey Village Hall in Abbey Yard off New Road.

Our AGM is in January and so our year is coming to an end - The remaining meetings are as follows -

• Friday 21st October "A History of Naval Aviation" presented by Len Owen
• Friday 18th November "Derbyshire Oddities" presented by Barry Lings
• Friday 16th December, the Christmas meeting which will be hosted by the Darley Abbey Gardening Club.

The meetings take place on the 3rd Friday of the month and we charge a small fee of £1 for members and £2 for visitors.
Membership of the Group is £5 per annum and is payable at the AGM which will be on 20th January 2012.
